Maggie's 500 Cycle
Campaign by Maggie's Centres (RCN SC024414)
On Friday, 10th September, our amazing 40 cyclists completed their incredible challenge of cycling 500 miles over 5 days to raise much-needed funds for Maggie's Highlands.

Story

Jacqui and I have decided to take part in a 5 day, 500 mile cycling challenge to raise funds and awareness for the Maggie's Highland Centre at Raigmore. The cycle was scheduled for September 2020 however the pandemic changed that. 
The revised event starts on 6th September 2021 and the new route comprises 5 days throughout the mountainous Cairngorms National Park. 

Riders will need to climb over the height of Everest, ascending some 30,000ft (9000m+) in 5 days including demanding ascents of Glenshee, The Lecht and Cairngorm Ski Centres. The "Queen" stage and most challenging day of the Maggie's 500 involves a 104mi/167km circuit of the National Park with over 8,000ft (2,500m) of climbing over the two highest roads in the UK.

Maggie's Highlands provides free practical, emotional and social support for people with cancer and their family and friends across the whole of the Highlands. Maggie's offers a programme of support that has been shown to strengthen physical and emotional well being. Built in the grounds of Raigmore Hospital, the centre is a warm and welcoming place with professional staff on hand to offer the support people need to find their way through cancer.
